About Iron Monkey Strength
Jason Giles
As bills piled up and money ran out Jason was forced to shelve his dance ambitions and just get a job. He was hired by New York Sports Clubs in the Summer of 2006. He went on to become a Fitness Manager and Master Trainer. In 2008 he went back to school at Hunter College and then later Nassau Community College to study Science focused curriculum with the plan to go to Physical Therapy School. As he studied he continued to personal train privately and work as a Rehabilitation Aide at STARS Physical Therapy in East Meadow. Jason went on to earn his StrongFirst SFG and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) from NSCA. In 2015 he was hired by Lifetime Fitness to be a part of the Fitness Professionals to open up their new location in Garden City NY. While working there he continued to train and grow gaining considerable experience and credentials: SFG2, SFL, FRCms, Flexible Steel Level 1, Flexible Steel Indian Clubs, PlanStrong, USA Weightlifting Coach Level 1, among others. As he worked and studied he began to have a vision of a different kind of training gym. Jason saw a gym that taught its patrons how to properly lift with kettlebells, barbells, and bodyweight. That had a system that was martial arts like to progress its students. It was that vision that has led to the founding of Iron Monkey Strength. Jason continues to train and learn. Most recently he achieved his StrongFirst Elite status which was a 5 year goal set when he first opened Iron Monkey Strength.
